The album's title track pays homage to Cosentino's home state, California, as does its cover art, which was inspired by a piece of sheet music from 1913. According to a press release, the record's core comprises feelings of "uncertainty" and "self-doubt."

Best Coast have also announced North American and UK tour dates for April through July. JEFF the Brotherhood and Those Darlins will support the North American dates.

Watch Cosentino perform "Up All Night" in 2010 after the tracklisting and dates.
